Totally agree.
The makeup for Original Series Klingons

Yeah the dark Vulcans ruled the V'Tosh and sent the fairer ones, like Sarek to do their bidding and deal with the illogical offworlders. That's my head canon for why no dark Vulcans in TOS or ENT. Apart from that all desert bred aliens are expected to look like more Southern Europeans and less like Arabs or dare I say Africans.

Expecting continuity from a fictional scifi TV show especially Star trek? Don't hold your breath.
Understood. Thanks for clarifying.
Indeed, if for no other reason than Ansara was married to Eden during the show's run, as part of a union that lasted 16 years altogether.How could I?

That I didn't know.
They had a son together, Matthew, who sadly died because of a drugs overdose in 2001! Whatever you think of drugs it's still a tradgedy for the parents and very sad!

There are deserts all over the world, not just in Africa and the Middle East. The largest desert in the world is....wait for it....Antarctica. On average it's the driest continent! So desert dwellers could look like the Hopi, Mongolians, Pashtuns, oe Aboriginal Australians. ( if they must parallel humans)
There are a lot of dark skinned Europeans, often from Southern Europe. They don't look that different than many people from North Africa and West Asia.
The two actors who set the standard for Vulcans were both Jewish. A people with some experience in the desert.

Jewish people like Vulcans come in all shapes and skin tones from blonde to brown
Did I say otherwise?
So what point were you trying to make that it was Jewish actors that set the standard for Vulcans? Humans of Jewish heritage don't have a special phenotype, hence my point.
A joke based on Jewish history and the story of Exodus. Famous story about Jews and the desert. Maybe you've heard of it?
Don't give up the day job
Humor is wasted on the humorless.
That never happened, BTW.
Yes I know. I saw documentary on the subject a while back. Fascinating stuff.
Anyone here prefer the TOS klingons ? I notice the following for the modern versions is intense if cosplaying at conventions is anything to go by. I think the modern ones are fine don't get me wrong but i'm surprised at seeming lack of interest in the originals. I personally like them best. Not sure why. I just think they're cool.
